    I've found this piece of code recently in my new project if(a==1 || a==2 || a==3 || a==4) { if(a==1) DoSomething(1); else if(a==2) DoSomething(2); else if(a==3) DoSomething(3); else if(a==4) DoSomething(4); } And this part is written in many places of the application

    It seems that someone simply has knowledge leaks. Knowing that it is possible to pass a value of a variable to a function directly not like this, is bloody essential thing and it would be nice if someone told him or her that. Just snoop around to find out who wrote this and make a good deed today. Hmm.. it's a funny horror anyway. :)

      Since this programmer obviously can't make a switch in code, your company should make a switch of employees.

        Someone voted you down for that. Gave you a 5 to balance it out :rolleyes:

            Ah. Don't worry about it. You see, the compiler takes a look at this and works out the redundancy. In fact, the redundancy notices should be on their desks by the time the link cycle has completed.

            Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

              Yes, it is. Hopefully the coder is no longer with that company.

              I hope your using the term "Coder" loosely there... Probably better said by saying **** Monkey, with approporiate word inserted in place of Code..

                if (a >= 1 && a <= 4)
                DoSomething(a);

                is a better option than a switch I think :) .

                      That is almost beautiful in it's inelegance! It is hard to come up with something convoluted and still have code that looks like the person writing it didn't try hard to make it as convoluted as possible...
